Round Two - Malaria

Hey Everybody,

Sorry about last week, we weren't able to get
anything though. To be completely honest these past couple of weeks have been
kind of frustrating. Most of last week was spent trying to diagnose the big toe
on my companions right foot. He messed it up really bad and it got all sorts of
swollen and gross. We had to keep him off of it as much as possible, take him
in for x-rays, and blah blah blah. Needless to say it made for a very long
week. ( I've sworn into secrecy that I would tell anybody HOW he almost broke
it. I'll give huge hints by telling you it had something with him trying to
prove he could do a front flip over the couch....)

The results came back with good news. He didn't
actually break his toe! Yay! We were able to be out and about for a couple of
hours before it was my turn. I got allllll sorts of woozy and the slight
headache I'd been feeling for the couple of days before exploded into what
became a nasty round two of the lovely sickness we call Malaria. These past couple
of days have been awful.... Malaria is no fun. No me gusta.

Other than trying to recover from random
illnesses and filling in our blanked schedules from the small windows of health
that we have had, things are coming along. Elder Rakotomananaand Elder Joseph
had a baptism last Saturday with a girl that Elder Lukonga and I had found and
taught while it was just us two alone. When the others showed up we passed her
and her friends off and they've been doing well. Her friend Thomas picked out
the 29th for his own baptismal service.

Hopefully we'll have better and brighter news
next week! Love you all!
